Monsters pop up in forthcoming book

Monsters have been part of Maurice Sendak's repertoire for more than 40 years, and millions of children have enjoyed the monsters from his book Where the Wild Things Are, which won the Caldecott Medal in 1964. Sendak's latest project, Mommy?, set for publication in September by Scholastic/Michael di Capua Books, features three-dimensional monsters produced in collaboration with Arthur Yorinks and Matthew Reinhart.

An article by Sally Lodge in the August 24 issue of Children's Bookshelf from Publishers Weekly offers details about this innovative project.
